Let me know if you find the answer to this. I've been looking for the same thing. I've been a Nextel/Sprint customer for 10 years plus and don't want to give up my direct connect feature but really want to get an iPhone. Since the new Sprint direct connect uses the internet to make the direct connect calls, I can't see why there can't be an app for the iPhone 4S that allows us to walkie talkie too~.
Nextel offers innovative benifits and awesome technology. One neat featufe would be the walkie talkie phones and plans that they offer. You can also do things like group connect and DirectTalk.
Nextel is a cellular phone company. They offer the walkie talkie phones that are used with the "push to talk" option. The company merged with Sprint and now the phones are all Sprint products.
Some good apps are AroundMe, FreeWifi, Pictorial, VoxerWalkie-Talkie, etc.
The BlackBerry 7100i is a smartphone developed by Research in Motion (RIM) in April of 2006. This smartphone was released on Nextel's iDEN network and had support for Nextel's walkie-talkie service. When the smartphone was released it could be bought for $199.99 after rebates. The smartphone can be bought today (2013) for $16.00 online.

YES! I have a 7100i Blackberry on the BOOST UNLIMITED plan ($50) per month and I have MMS texting, internet(not that crappy "mobile" internet,) and working apps(Google Maps/Weather Eye/Google Sync...etc.) Plus I have the Direct Connect walkie talkie function with Boost AND Nextel customers. The 8350i does even MORE!
One can purchase an Audiovox walkie talkie by going to the Tiger Direct website. The website sells the complete set of Audiovox 7 Mile Walkie Talkies.
If you are able to locate a voice recorder that can record from it's USB interface, and you can also locate a walkie-talkie with a USB interface that will provide a signal that is compatible with your voice recorder, your chances of success are good.
You can't. A walkie talkie antenna gives out RF (Radio Frequency) energy while a headphone circuit requires audio frequency.
You can connect Binatone Terrain 750 Walkie Talkie to any channel other than just the default 1-8 channels using the Power-in Connection Jack.
Yes a blackberry would work with boostmobile but it has to be Nextel due to that boostmobile sims are not Gsm ... boost could only use certain nextel phones . but has a blackberry 8330 under sprint network with out walkie talkie but its Great services. 3g internet and only 60$ a month. no roaming , reconection fee only state and local taxes.
tape a walkie talkie to your wrist :)
